If you haven't been notified already, you most likely will soon. Patreon will be changing the way it handles pricing, moving service fees from the creators to the patrons, at 2.9 percent plus 35 cents per charge (so a $1.00 pledge with fees attached would end up being more like $1.38). This can be good for creators, as they get to keep more of their pledged amounts, but places a greater financial burden on you patrons, especially on Patreons like mine which charge per item, rather than monthly.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say it that if you prefer not to foot the added charges and end up dropping my Patreon or switching to a lower-cost tier, I won't take it personally, even if I have to go the ramen-dinner route more often. ;)
